Syndicate Shutle Boarding

IMO knowing where the shuttle is at all is metagaming. The only way the crew should be able to reach the shuttle is if they follow a syndie pod to it.

Why don't they just give the syndicates a pet that defends the shuttle but can't be transported to the station?

give Von Braun the aggressive psycho monkey AI from way back in the day

Go the full mile. Give him the Wendigo King's moveset and attitude against non-syndicates (and since the teleporter remote only works if you stand on the pad when using it, he'd be stuck guarding the shuttle without causing the station any trouble.
